Jump to navigationJump to search

Template:Nav-Rid2015 The 2015 Robots in Disguise toyline will coincide with the animated series of the same name. Like the preceding Age of Extinction toyline, it features a mixture of easy-to-transform figures and more "traditional" figures with multi-step conversions.

The overarching gimmick for the line is special faction symbol "Shields", which can be scanned with the accompanying Robots in Disguise app to temporarily unlock the toy for use in-game.

Legion Class

After being relegated to limited-release redecoes for most of 2014, the Legion size class returns in full. The Cyberverse branding has been dropped, along with the larger Commander pricepoint.

Warrior Class

The newly named "Warrior" assortment is broadly similar to the traditional Deluxe Class, but somewhat simplified for greater accessibility. As such, their MSRP is slightly lower than contemporary Deluxe figures in the Generations line.

Three-Step Changers / Hyper Change Heroes

Three-Step Changers aka Hyper Change Heroes (see the Notes section for more) succeed the Age of Extinction Flip & Change toys as a large, simple-to-transform price point. Unlike those figures, however, there is no unified transformation scheme.

Mini-Cons

Featuring single-step transformations, Mini-Cons transform into projectiles to be launched from larger "Deployer" figures. They include a number of clear-plastic accessories, packaged on the sprue, which can be pegged into various sockets on their bodies. Some of the figures' accessories can be combined with those from their wavemates to form an "energy animal": a big cat for Wave 1, and a shark for Wave 2.

  • Wave 1
  • Wave 2
  • Wave 3
The name "Back" is used in the Robots in Disguise mobile game, official Hasbro solicitations, official packaging stock photos, an early production run of the figure available in Hong Kong and multilingual European packaging. The name "Forth" thus far only appeared on the packaging available from North American online retailers.

Mini-Con Deployers

Packaged with a Mini-Con, Deployers are designed to wield and launch the smaller figures, and feature several-step transformations. Keep in mind that with all Deployers, their gimmick only works on a flat surface, as there is a switch that locks the gimmick when the toy is not on a table or the ground. So no, you can't shoot your friends with your Mini-Cons.

  • Wave 1
  • Wave 2

Mini-Con Battle Packs

For the first two waves, each Battle Pack includes a roughly Scout-sized "Decepticon Hunter" figure and a Mini-Con opponent; from the third wave onwards, the "Decepticon Hunter" monikers were dropped, with the Mini-Cons now turning into weapons for the included Autobot figures. The Autobot figures include a number of translucent weapon and armor accessories which can also combine into a single large weapon.

Notes

  • Because Hasbro stopped printing assortment names on the toys' packaging, confirmation of just what exactly the various price points are named needs to be taken from other official sources. Unfortunately, Hasbro toyed around with several alternate working names, which then ended up being used not only by different online retailers, but also for international versions of Hasbro's official website. This results in a situation similar to 2005's Legends of Cybertron price point (also known as "Cybertron All-Stars" and "Cybertron Micro Series"), the Construct-Bots line (aka "Construct-A-Bots", "Construct Bots" or "Construct A Bots") and the Age of Extinction line's Power Battlers (aka "Power Attackers" or "Deluxe Attackers"), where it's difficult, or even impossible, to conclusively determine the "official" name for these price points:
    • The One-Step Changers are identified as "One-Step Warriors" on the United Kingdom, Canadian, German, Singaporean, Australian and Belgian versions of the Hasbro website, among others. The United States version initially also called them "One-Step Warriors" (with overview listings identifying them as "One-Step Changers"), but later changed the individual figures' entries to "One-Step Changers"… yet a few instances of "One-Step Warriors" still persist. Online retailers (among them Amazon UK, Toys"R"Us Canada and Walmart USA) also use the "One-Step Warriors" name in their listings.
    • The "Three-Step Changers" aka "Hyper Change Heroes" (also "3-Step Changers" or "Hyperchange Heroes") are a similar mess: The Hong Kong, Singaporean, Canadian and United Kindom versions of the Hasbro website identify them as "Hyper Change Heroes", whereas the United States, Australian, German and French versions use the name "3-Step Changers". The Malaysian version uses different names for different individual figures. Again, retailers around the world have picked a name and are running with it. The press releases distributed by Hasbro's PR agency to news outlets after various media events all use "Three-Step Changers", and a Hasbro representative at BotCon 2015 further confirmed that "Three-Step Changers" was supposed to be the "final" name… then again, a Hasbro representative at Toy Fair 2013 had insisted on the name "Construct-A-Bots", too.
